Photo Hunt – Daily

This is my daily (and nightly) perch — on the pull-out platform of the desk in my office. One of my most important duties is supervising my human and this is the best place to do it. I can look over her shoulder to make sure she isn’t slacking off — looking at her bank account or writing about something that doesn’t involve me. Keeping my Twitter and Facebook accounts updated is way more important than paying bills and working on her own stuff. Judging from the look on my face here, she must have been doing something wrong.

This photo was actually sort of difficult to accomplish. It’s an evening shot and since my human wanted to use natural light and no flash, she had to set the camera on a tripod and use a very slow shutter speed. She also had to use the timer to keep the camera from shaking when she pushed the button. It was hard for me too because I had to sit still long enough to keep from causing a blur. I think the result is pretty nice. I might like to use it as my formal portrait. What do you think?

I spend so much time sitting up here that I often have breakfast and snacks while I work. I know you’re not supposed to eat at your desk, but when I’m on a roll, I like to keep going. Of course, sometimes the results are disastrous. You might have seen this video before, but in case you haven’t, you can see what can happen if I’m not careful.

I like the pose very much, but your eyes are not wide enough. You have gorgeous eyes, Sparkle– that and your lovely bib of fluffy fur make you a bombshell. So while I like this photo, I really love the ones where your eyes are wide open and your fluff is extended like a lion’s mane. Just my two cents. And tell your human I am quite jealous of her fabulous photography skills.

And oh dear! Did you make your human dig those treats out of the garbage can, one by one?! LOL

That’s a very pretty portrait photo of you Sparkle! Our human would never go to all that trouble for a photo of us – maybe that’s why we don’t have portraits. Hope you got another bag of snack since that one fell in the trash.

For all of you who were wondering: my human picked up the bag, but she did not fish the rest of the kibble out of the trash. She said if I was so careless, I deserved to lose some of it. Which is unfair – she was the careless one for filming me instead of making sure the bag didn’t fall.

I think you need either a rim put on the edge of your pull-out shelf or, better yet, your human to be a little more alert and catch your food before it goes over the edge. What WAS she thinking!

I am amazed at your ability to sit so still for so long. My cat is always a blur, even in photos where I have used the flash. It shows you arre definitely a superior kitteh. (Don’t tell Benjamin I said that… Our little secret.)

That picture is good enough for a portrait. Well done Mom. Our staff is horrible at taking pictures. She would love a new camera. Ours is older than ancient. And that happens to us all the time, the noms falling off the table. Why can’t these humans figure out a way for us to have our noms. Like maybe in a bowl. Have a great Sunday.

Dear Sparkle,
Thank you for stopping by my human’s (Anna’s Adornments) PH-theme “daily”-post of the snow that fell off a roof and even my own PH-theme (on my jewellery-blog “Glada smycken/Happy Jewellery”) with my cat-mother Cajsa-mamma eating her daily meal.
I really like the photo portrait and admire your human’s patience as well as yours. The photo turned out well. She is a really good photographer and you are indeed a super model!
Thank you for dropping your EC-card not only on my mommy’s blog (Anna’s Adornments), but even my own cat-blog (Sara Cat writes / Sara Katt skriver) which recently joined Entrecard. I’m an “Entrecat” now.
Purrs,
Sara Cat
